💛 Yellow Books 💛 @kelsieradmirer tagged me in the yellow book stack tag and I was super excited to make a big yellow book stack, but when I was looking at my bookshelves I realized I only have 1 yellow book 🫣 Yes I know, it's Priory of the ORANGE Tree but there's a little bit of yellow on the cover so it counts! Now I'm curious to know how many yellow books other people have 🧐 I'll tag a few people as well but there's no pressure to participate 😊 Q: What is your favourite yellow book?

A Little Life - Acrostic Review A nywhere there is darkness, there must, sometimes, be L ight. A Little Life uses its sadness, its raw pain, I t’s darkness to make the light moments really shine. And T hey really shine! This isn’t a collection of sickening scenes, T his is a book about what happens between those scenes. L ove, tenderness, friendship, trust, abuse of trust, seemingly E ndless suffering and the difficulties of recovery. L ot’s of people told me that the ending was shattering but I Actually found it very fitting. And I managed not to cry! As F or the rest of the journey, I’m certain I will think about it almost E very day. Jude St Francis, you might just have changed my life. . #readersofinstagram #libros #booklove #booknerd #newborns #fiction #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #photooftheday #readersofinstagram #booklover #alittlelife

Happy Wednesday! ☺️ I was tagged by the amazing @emilysreadingdiary for the #CoverPhotos challenge and I thought I’d do it today. 📚 The challenge is really simple — find book covers with photos on them. 📸 To up the ante a bit, I added a special challenge for myself — to only pick two books from my Penguin Eau-de-Nils. 😄 Here are the books I ended up going with: 🔸A Bit on the Side — William Trevor 🔸Black Wings has my Angel — Elliott Chaze 🔸Territory of Light — Yuko Tsushima 🔸Heaven — Mieko Kawakami 🔸South of the Border, West of the Sun — Haruki Murakami 🔸Before Sunrise and Before Sunset (movie script) 🔸I Never Promised You a Rose Garden — Joanne Greenberg 🔸The Lonely Londoners — Sam Selvon 🔸The Quiet American — Graham Greene Interestingly, two of these remain on my tbr which are Murakami’s South of the Border, West of the Sun and Greene’s The Quiet American. As for Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, the photo is actually a still from the movie Before Sunset which is one of my favorite movies of all time. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s definitely worth checking out (especially if you’re a hopeless romantic 😅). 9 books so I’m tagging 9 friends. As always, no pressure if you’re tagged. And if you’re not tagged but want to give it a try, do give it a go! ☺️ Enjoy your Wednesday! ✨ P.S. Today’s song choice is also influenced by Before Sunset. I swear, that movie is probably 90% responsible for why I’ve always wanted to go to Paris. 😅

Happy Monday! ☺️ This week finds me still easing my way back into regular reading. 📚 Currently I’m about a hundred pages into Murakami’s Dance Dance Dance and I’ve finally met the Sheep Man. 🐑 It feels odd saying it since I usually have several books on the go but I think I’ll only be reading Murakami this week — after so long I’m finally a monogamous reader again! 😅 In lieu of my usual Monday post, here’s a #tenbeforetheend post of ten books I’m hoping to read before the end of the year. Thanks to the amazing @literarylawgirl for the tag, and hopefully I haven’t jinxed any of these books as well! 🤞 Here are the books: 🔸Death in Venice — Thomas Mann 🔸Mrs. Dalloway — Virginia Woolf 🔸The Wonderful Wizard of Oz — L. Frank Baum 🔸The Call of the Wild — Jack London 🔸America is in the Heart — Carlos Bulosan 🔸The Last Chronicle of Barset — Anthony Trollope 🔸The Secret History — Donna Tartt 🔸Swing Time — Zadie Smith 🔸Greek Lessons — Han Kang 🔸The Automobile Club of Egypt — Alaa Al Aswany I’m honestly most excited for The Secret History since it seems to be an Autumn favorite. 🍂 I’m also really excited to finally get to both Han Kang’s Greek Lessons and Zadie Smith’s Swing Time which are two books that I might actually start reading this September. ☺️ Of course if I’m really lucky, I’ll be able to finish Trollope’s The Last Chronicle of Barset this year which ends my time in Barsetshire and sets me up nicely for a Palliser 2024. 🤞 Clearly I’m spoiled for choice when it comes to reads. 😂 Ten books so I’m tagging ten friends but no pressure as always. In case you’re not tagged but want to play along, do give it a go! ☺️ Have a great week ahead! ✨

All for one and one for... all? ⚔️ So Monday is my birthday. Woo! It's also the birthday of a certain #AlexandreDumas 🎂 The lovely @novelvoyages decided 24 July would be a great day to start a long #slowread of The d'Artagnan Romances, a chapter a day through 2023 and most of 2024. 🗓️ These books tell the story of the 17th-century musketeer d'Artagnan. The series begins in 1625 with #TheThreeMusketeers ⚔️ Well you know I am a fanatical advocate of slow reading and a lover of historical fiction, so I felt compelled to sign up to this one! 👍 I've got a terrible feeling I'm going to fall by the wayside at some point – not least because of my commitments running the War and Peace and Cromwell readalongs. 🤯 But all for one and all for one, and all that, I will give it my best shot. 💥 And if you're interested in joining in, there is a hashtag: #AllForOneReadalong and I've tagged some of those taking part so you can connect. 👍 So, have you read any Dumas? Tempted by this #readalong? Simon 🌠

✨ #bookcompatibilitychallenge ✨ Thanks @annathebooksiread and @ktlee.writes for tagging me in on this challenge that I’ve been seeing all over my feed! If you know me, you know that I agonize over making top arbitrary number lists for anything, and for me there are different kinds of favorite books. There are the books I’ve read the most, the books I think are the best crafted but that I would probably never read again, books that I always recommend, etc. etc. For this challenge, I decided to select the 10 books I’d want to have with me if I had to spend the rest of my life on a desert island. Scoring is as follows (using @ktlee.writes’s modifications): +10 points if you read and loved the book +5 points if you thought it was ok +2 points if you are currently reading +1 point if it’s on your TBR -2 points if you DNFed or hated it My 10 books are: • LABYRINTHS by Jorge Luis Borges • THE MIRROR AND THE LIGHT by Hilary Mantel • STORIES OF YOUR LIFE by Ted Chiang • ANOTHER COUNTRY by James Baldwin • SONG OF SOLOMON by Toni Morrison • THE THREE MUSKETEERS by Alexandre Dumas • WAR AND PEACE by Leo Tolstoy • THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV by Fyodor Dostoevsky • THE GOLDEN COMPASS by Phillip Pullman • THE GENE by Siddhartha Mukherjee I’m tagging some friends but anyone can consider themselves tagged if you want to do this!
